Put water in large stock pot and add meat. Add remaining ingredients.
Bring to boil and if you have it put a diffuser under pot and keep
the heat just below a simmer. This is like a crockpot, but my
crockpot is too small. Continue cooking for 4 to 8 hours.
Remove meat and allow to cool. Strain Stock and chill if necessary
to remove any fat. After removing fat, return to pot. Strip meat
from bone and skin. Bring to a boil and add Soup vegetables and
pasta to the strained stock. Reduce to a simmer and cook til
vegetables are done. Add meat and thicken if desired. Serve with
fresh rolls or bread.
